Process picture - 1 Month post surgery
I'm 21 years old and recently had a breast...
After a lot of research I came across Spire Elland Hospital and more importantly Mr Mahajan who has a great reputation within the plastic surgery industry. As my mum was set against my breast augmentation, I let her further research into Mr Mahajan to reassure herself and she finally got on board.
Further down the line I booked a consultation with Mr Mahajan at the hospital and had the chance to speak to him about what I wanted. He was very reassuring and more importantly, realistic. Growing up I had never developed any sort of breast tissue, meaning I was completely flat, I was measured by Mr Mahajan and found to only have 2cm worth of breast tissue, in simple terms, I didn't even fit into a training bra! This was a huge insecurity of mine, I absolutely dreaded going on holiday or to the swimming pool and would never change in front of people.
As I explained to Mr Mahajan I wanted a natural looking pair of boobs, I didn't want to look like I had two massive melons stuck on my chest. Mr Mahajan explained the issue with having such a small amount of breast tissue, meant 1. the skin would be difficult to stretch, meaning I couldn't go too big and 2. it would be best placed under the muscle in order to cover the implant in order to avoid it looking 'stuck on'.
Like I previously mentioned, my process with Mr Mahajan was never rushed and most importantly realistic. He did not promise things he could not guarantee and he made me feel at ease throughout every appointment.
As my surgery date approached I was a mixture of scared, nervous, happy and unsettled. I kept constantly wondering "Will my implants look right? Are they big enough? Will I be okay". Every question was running through my mind. When the day finally came, everything ran so smoothly, I had the chance to talk with Mr Mahajan before my surgery as he marked me up. He mentioned his worries of whether he would physically be able to get the implant behind my muscle due to the lack of skin. He was upfront and honest - something which is definitely reassuring before surgery.
Fast forward a few hours and I was woken up, feeling terribly drowsy from the anaesthetic... with BOOBS! - you know those two things on your chest that I'd never had before!
Even better, I had no drains and only two small incisions covered by bandages - It was amazing!
Later that night Mr Mahajan popped in to see me and I finally got the chance to see them, they looked AMAZING. They didn't look stupidly oversized or stuck on, they were pert, symmetrical and boobs... actual boobs!
Now, the few days after surgery are the worst! I left hospital in my little bubble of excitement, however in the days after I found myself questioning whether my boobs were big enough. I was already warned by Mr Mahajan of 'boob greed' and thought I'd avoid it as I'd never had any anyway, however I was fretting about the size to the point where I ended up asking for a telephone consultation with Mr Mahajan - who called me back within a couple of hours!
During the conversation I had the chance to have a better chat with him and I was reassured about my size and told I couldn't have gone any bigger if I'd had wanted to, as it was a struggle even getting these implants in due to my lack of skin.
I'm now approaching 4 weeks later and I've never felt better, I had my bandages removed last week and my scars are tiny! I had a follow up appointment with Mr Mahajan to discuss everything I needed to and I'm due to see him in 3 months. My boobs have dropped loads and I can finally sleep on my side! I've bought a few none wired bras and I'm currently fitting a 32DD - (I never thought I'd say that!)
Above all, I'm so thankful to Mr Mahajan, he made the entire process so relaxed, I never once felt worried about the outcome as I felt like I was in good hands, he's unbelievably well trained (honestly Google him, he's everywhere) and very professional!
If I can give anyone any advice if they're due to have surgery or still in the process of deciding, it's definitely worth it, but do your research! Don't be taken in by these 'clinics' that offer cheap surgery, at the end of the day, it may be cosmetic but it is still surgery. Finally and most importantly, research your surgeon, find one who is realistic and professional and who genuinely has your best interest in mind - find Mr Mahajan!
Thank you!

Mr Mahajan is unbelievably well trained and professional, he knows what he's talking about and puts you at ease. He isn't pushy when it comes to cosmetic surgery - he's upfront and honest and I believe he would tell you if you had no need for the surgery you desired. As for myself, I didn't feel mine was completely for the purpose of vanity as I literally had no breast tissue and I couldn't fit into a bra. He was realistic with my outcome and explained every part of the surgery. He thoroughly explained that there can be complications with my breast augmentation, as it is surgery, however he reassured me that these problems are very rare. Finally, I felt at ease around Mr Mahajan, I could have a laugh and a joke with him as well as a serious conversation. He's extremely professional and knows his stuff. I never felt apprehensive to ask him a question or contact him if I was unsure. Before my breast augmentation I had to have a mole removed on my left breast, originally I was sent to my local dermatology department and they said they would cut out a chunk of my breast the size of my thumb print. I left the room and never went back, I asked my doctor to refer me to Mr Mahajan as I already had my breast augmentation booked in with him. He took a completely different approach. He removed the mole and cut so the scar lined up against my areola and is barely visible. Unlike the other doctor he had my best interest in mind, he knew that if he removed a big chunk I would be left with a misshapen breast area and even less breast tissue than I already had. He did an absolutely amazing job of both the removal of my mole and my breast augmentation, both with tiny scars and no external stitches, he literally is amazing! I'm definitely happy I chose Mr Mahajan as my surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. If I plan on having any surgery in the future I will definitely be going back to him!
